Earlier this month I wrote about a restaurant founded on gratitude. I liked something the owner said: “gratitude spills over,” meaning if someone does something nice for you it makes you feel like doing something nice for someone else. It got me thinking more about gratitude, and I decided to make a list.
Suzanne’s Mom is grateful for: A peaceful neighborhood to live in, shelter, food, clothing, other people, a way to make a living, music, art, theater, books, poetry, nature. And especially, my family and a baby who lights up with a megawatt smile when I arrive, a one-year-old who wants to snuggle on the rug with a book, and a three-year-old who exclaims with wonder, “Grandma! Are you my daddy’s mommy?!”

Lovely list of gratitude’s!
One Thanksgiving two different people sent me e-mails thanking me for something during the past year. It put me on Cloud 9. I am going to try to do that next Thanksgiving for someone.
That’s a pretty wonderful list!
I tried to stick to what’s important. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
Your list is practically the same as my list…
Hope we can compare notes in the New Year.
